As you travel through life

Many people are experiencing difficult times nowadays. I came across this passage and hope that everyone gets a lift.....and comfort.

**************************

***************************
As you travel through life there are always those times
When decisions just have to be made,
When the choices are hard, and solutions seem scarce,
And the rain seems to soak your parade.

There are some situations where all you can do
Is simply let go and move on,
Gather your courage and choose a direction
That carries you toward a new dawn.

So pack up your troubles and take a step forward -
The process of change can be tough,
But think about all the excitement ahead

There might be adventures you never imagined
Just waiting around the next bend,
And wishes and dreams just about to come true
In ways you can't yet comprehend!

Perhaps you'll find friendships that spring from new things
As you challenge your status quo,
And learn there are so many options in life,

Perhaps you'll go places you never expected
And see things that you've never seen,
Or travel to fabulous, faraway worlds
And wonderful spots in between!

Perhaps you'll find warmth and affection and caring
And somebody special who's there
To help you stay centered and listen with interest
To stories and feelings you share.

Perhaps you'll find comfort in knowing your friends
Are supportive of all that you do,
And believe that whatever decisions you make,
They'll be the right choices for you.

So keep putting one foot in front of the other,
And taking your life day by day...
There's a brighter tomorrow that's just down the road -
Don't look back! You're not going that way!

blessings and love to you all,

INSPIRATIONAL STORY FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS

HERE IS AN INSPIRATIONAL STORY FROM ONE OF MY STUDENTS. I HOPE YOU WILL FIND THAT RELATIONSHIP BEGINS FROM WITHIN. HAPPINESS STARTS FROM INSIDE. IF WE KEEP LOOKING OUTSIDE OURSELVES FOR HAPPINESS, WE WILL ALWAYS LONG FOR MORE. Namaste, Tina
***************************************************************
BRANDI WROTE THIS TO TINA:
"I have a couple more messages to share if you don't mind....

I was driving back from school the other night upset and down because I felt "alone"... I want to be in a relationship.... I feel alone.. wanting true laughter, wanting that special someone to love.... Ready to cry... Spirit told me so gently... "What are you going to do about it?"...
Seconds after, I broke down crying and wanted out because I was so tired of being in this world doing worldly things (again), having to relearn what I've learned and taught so many times before... having to start from the beginning once more although its all so familiar in my soul... I'm tired, I'm frustrated, I'm done..nobody understands, people cant see what it is they're doing here on this plane....yadda, yadda.... Spirit gently said "Well, what are you going to do to get through it?"....

In that moment, it made so much sense.....

Bringing tears to my eyes now.... it's so darn simple.... why can't we understand that this is not supposed to be that difficult? All we have to do is go within... like you continue to remind us time and time again....we are searching out instead of in....

My experiences lately, I've not shut myself off from the world around, but I've stuck to myself and out of group settings. I understand how powerful we individuals are if we quit making things so difficult and quit running to others every time we feel our Beings slip. When we're young and we fall... we're told to get back up... when we're young and we hurt... we're told you will be fine.... when we're young and begin to search... we are told you will find....
Just because our physical has aged, does not mean that our spirit doesn't need to be tenderly loved. Think of a time when you felt the world was about to fall and no one was in sight to see.... How in the world did we make it through? We made it, because we have our higher selves.... We made it because we have our angels, We made it because we have our guides, We made it because we have our loved ones who've transitioned over and we've made it because we have the strength. Without this mighty strength, we wouldn't be challenged with these crazy things in the first place... Continuously being helped and guided, and nudged.. Spirit stands and smiles right back.... so proud and so content. So proud of the wisdom we gain and so proud of the feats we all surpass. We need to stand proud, we need to stand Tall. We need to continue being firm with the truths that we already know... No need to look out, listen to whats already within.... what are we going to do to make it through?

When in a space of discontent or discomfort or unfamiliarity.... instead of running to find something that doesn't need to be, all we need to do is repeat... "I have all that I need... my Angels, my Guides, and Me."


THANKS BRANDI FOR GIVING ME PERMISSION TO SHARE THIS WITH OTHERS. LOVE, TINA

Swine Flu

With all the crazy media frenetic energy surrounding the Swine Flu, I've been getting lotsa calls and emails. I invite you to read Dr Mercola's article on this. you can click on the link below and here are some things you can do to prevent viruses and bacteria in general:

How to Protect Yourself Without Dangerous Drugs and Vaccinations by Dr. Mercola

For now, my point is that there are always going to be threats of flu pandemics, real or created, and there will always be potentially toxic vaccines that are peddled as the solution. But you can break free of that whole drug-solution trap by following some natural health principles.

I have not caught a flu in over two decades, and you can avoid it too, without getting vaccinated, by following these simple guidelines, which will keep your immune system in optimal working order so that you're far less likely to acquire the infection to begin with.

* Optimize your vitamin D levels. As I've previously reported, optimizing your vitamin D levels is one of the absolute best strategies for avoiding infections of ALL kinds, and vitamin D deficiency is likely the TRUE culprit behind the seasonality of the flu -- not the flu virus itself.

This is probably the single most important and least expensive action you can take. I would STRONGLY urge you to have your vitamin D level monitored to confirm your levels are therapeutic at 50-70 ng.ml and done by a reliable vitamin D lab like Lab Corp.

For those of you in the US we hope to launch a vitamin D testing service through Lab Corp that allows you to have your vitamin D levels checked at your local blood drawing facility, and relatively inexpensively. We hope to offer this service by June 2009.

If you are coming down with flu like symptoms and have not been on vitamin D you can take doses of 50,000 units a day for three days to treat the acute infection. Some researchers like Dr. Cannell, believe the dose could even be as high as 1000 units per pound of body weight for three days.

*

Avoid Sugar and Processed Foods. Sugar decreases the function of your immune system almost immediately, and as you likely know, a strong immune system is key to fighting off viruses and other illness. Be aware that sugar is present in foods you may not suspect, like ketchup and fruit juice.
*

Get Enough Rest. Just like it becomes harder for you to get your daily tasks done if you're tired, if your body is overly fatigued it will be harder for it to fight the flu. Be sure to check out my article Guide to a Good Night's Sleep for some great tips to help you get quality rest.
*

Have Effective Tools to Address Stress . We all face some stress every day, but if stress becomes overwhelming then your body will be less able to fight off the flu and other illness.

If you feel that stress is taking a toll on your health, consider using an energy psychology tool such as the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), which is remarkably effective in relieving stress associated with all kinds of events, from work to family to trauma. You can check out my free, 25-page EFT manual for some guidelines on how to perform EFT.
*

Exercise. When you exercise, you increase your circulation and your blood flow throughout your body. The components of your immune system are also better circulated, which means your immune system has a better chance of finding an illness before it spreads. You can review my exercise guidelines for some great tips on how to get started.
*

Take a good source of animal based omega-3 fats like Krill Oil. Increase your intake of healthy and essential fats like the omega-3 found in krill oil, which is crucial for maintaining health. It is also vitally important to avoid damaged omega-6 oils that are trans fats and in processed foods as it will seriously damage your immune response.
*

Wash Your Hands. Washing your hands will decrease your likelihood of spreading a virus to your nose, mouth or other people. Be sure you don't use antibacterial soap for this -- antibacterial soaps are completely unnecessary, and they cause far more harm than good. Instead, identify a simple chemical-free soap that you can switch your family to.
*

Eat Garlic Regularly. Garlic works like a broad-spectrum antibiotic against bacteria, virus, and protozoa in the body. And unlike with antibiotics, no resistance can be built up so it is an absolutely safe product to use. However, if you are allergic or don't enjoy garlic it would be best to avoid as it will likely cause more harm than good.
* Avoid Hospitals and Vaccines In this particular case, I'd also recommend you stay away from hospitals unless you're having an emergency, as hospitals are prime breeding grounds for infections of all kinds, and could be one of the likeliest places you could be exposed to this new bug. Vaccines will not be available for six months at the minimum but when available they will be ineffective and can lead to crippling paralysis like Guillain-Barré Syndrome just as it did in the 70s.

The above was written by Dr. Mercola. You need to determine if it resonates with you and consult with your medical and holistic professionals.

Here's to your health, awareness and insight.
Namaste,
Tina

I want to share with you that I was invited to participate in a healing ceremony the other night with medicine men from Sierra Nevada de Santa Marta from Colombia, South America. We did a beautiful ceremony healing the Earth and ourselves. See photos in my group page.

Here is a website with their info: www.corazondelmundo.org You can read it in English or in Spanish. Take a look at the gallery and the photos. Most of them don’t even speak Spanish. They have their native lingo. They are simple people. They asked us for something to cut some thread and we gave them scissors. They looked puzzled and asked us how to use the scissors.

They are wonderful people spending lots of time in meditation and in ceremony to heal the Earth with the hope that everyone will gravitate to peace. So humble they are. Being in their energy was beyond words.

They are holding a space of peace for all of us. They live simple lives and they don't have to be distracted like the rest of us with all the noise, technology and "stuff". Their meditations and intentions are magnificent, powerful and compelling.

These people ask for your help in recovering their ancestral lands and protecting their sacred sites. So check out their website and see if you can donate money and/or send out healing loving energy prayers to them. Also energetically we can thank them for helping us heal the earth and promoting peace.

Namaste
Tina

It's Renewal and Rebirth time whether you celebrate Easter or not.

It's that time of year again when little children start painting boiled eggs and gluing cotton balls on little bunny rabbits all in celebration of Easter. I have many fond memories of Easter. I remember baking Italian Easter cookies with the colorful eggs embedded in them. I remember eating boiled eggs of many different colors and varieties. And cooking the variety of Easter dishes.... and the big feasts my family had with our relatives and friends.

Many Christians are celebrating Easter this weekend. Their meaning of Easter is Jesus' victory over death. The time when he overcame death and rose to live in heaven forever.

Whether you celebrate Easter or not, I would like to invite you to overcome somethings in your life and to a celebration of renewal and rebirth. What are the things you want to finally let go of? What things would you like to give birth to? Let's do some spring cleaning not only physically but emotionally, mentally and spiritually? Let's let go of things that do not serve us any longer like sadness, resentment, anger, disappointments, etc. And by letting go of these limited beliefs and limitations we can make room for things positive things like harmony. Let's allow our spirit to soar and live in peace, joy and serenity! It all begins with one step....:)

With peace and love

Meditation Tip

A tip is to meditate the first thing you do in the morning as you wake up. You are already in a relaxed state and so use that opportunity to set the tone of the day. Repeat wonderful, positive affirmations that are in present tense such as:
*I follow my heart and I know I am on the right pathway for me.
*My life continues to get easier all the time. Life is good!
*I am so grateful for the miracle called the body. It serves me well.
*I always have enough money. Every though I think is creating my future, so I choose to be well balanced financially.

Reiki, An Enlightened Experience...

"In every culture and in every medical tradition before ours, healing was accomplished by moving energy." Albert Szent-Gyorgyi, Nobel Laureate in Medicine

What is Reiki?
Reiki (pronounced ray key) is an energy healing technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing using our life force energy. Learning Reiki or receiving Reiki is a step toward being proactive (preventive) in your healing process. Reiki is also a complementary healing that can be used in conjunction with any healing technique, whether medical or alternative.

How is Reiki performed?
Reiki is administered by laying on hands (touch therapy), connecting with a person’s energy points or chakras. The act of laying hands on the human or animal body to comfort and relieve pain is as old as instinct. When experiencing pain, the first thing most people do is to put their hands on it. When a child falls and scrapes her knee, she wants her mother to touch it (or kiss it) and make it better. Human touch conveys healing.

What are the benefits of Reiki?
Reiki allows everyone to tap into an unlimited supply of life force energy to improve health and enhance the quality of life. If one’s life force energy is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy and healthy. It’s a way to work with your Higher Power. It’s an enlightening teamwork experience. It will change your life!

Reiki 1/ Reiki 2 Certification
In Reiki 1 you receive an attunement from Reiki Master Tina G. Sacchi which brings you to the Reiki 1 level. Reiki 1 heals physical level diseases in the person who receives it. Reiki 1 healing sessions are primarily for self-healing. The Reiki 1 healer can also do healing for someone else who is physically present.

In Reiki 2, you receive an attunement from Reiki Master Tina G. Sacchi which brings you to the Reiki 2 level. Reiki 2 attunement increases the amount of healing energy. It adds considerable power to direct sessions. It also adds the methods and tools for doing healing with someone who is not physically present--distance healing.

Reiki 3 Certification
Reiki 3 is the Master/Teacher degree. A Master is simply a teacher, one who has mastered the discipline. No ego or ownership is involved in this term. The Reiki 3 practitioner experiences a further increase in the ability to channel healing energy. This energy is pure joy, oneness with all life, and connection with your God/Higher Power.
